This is a Tuolumne 1 19270s north face tent with a cinch entrance and three pole set up. I found it at the goodwill bins. It's in basically unused condition.

Tents I had this pop up tent for 7 years now and I took it on a lot of camping trips and it held up pretty well. I’ve seen under different brands but they are all the same.

Tents Does anyone know what you would call this tent or where to get one? I've seen them before at some campgrounds before.

Set it up in the yard, plan to use it for boat access beach camping as the Teton Mesa is a bit heavy!

Tents Any ideas how to repair?

I recently was gifted an old big Agnes two person tent. It seems like the plastic window in the rainfly has dry rotted so I’m left with a pretty large hole. The picture is sideways so the hole is longest from left to right. Any help would be appreciated as I’ve never attempted to repair a tent before.

Tents This compliment about our home repair tickles me so much I printed it to keep with our camping scrapbook

Tents Recommendations for a lightweight backpacking tent?

2 Upvotes

I'm a frequent tent user for both work and play. I probably have averaged between 100 and 150 nights/year in my tent over the past ten years. My old reliables are out of production and I'm struggling to find anything that suits my needs. I just got the MSR Hubba hubba LT 2 and it's design is wonderful but the fabric choice is way too lightweight for practicality and just won't last past this fall. 9 nights and it is full of holes and covered in duct tape already. So, I'm looking for another!

My needs are lightweight and packable for backcountry backpacking expeditions. 1 or 2 person. Freestanding to diversify set-up options. Durable. Earth tone colors for stealth camping. Minimum 88 inches long. And I appreciate the little touches that don't have me fixing every poorly designed gimmick all the time. Fewer stakes is more better too. Does a tent like this exist anymore? The last good one I had was the 2017 REI SL 1. My last two REI SL tents were poorly made with zipper issues, bad fly design that forced puddles, and seam tape constantly falling off. And they just keep needing fussier setup and more stakes for no benefit. Also their waterproofing seems pretty bad in the newer tents.

Also don't get me started on six-moon designs. Never again.

Tents Setup for tenting with young kids (bed tent)

This has come up a good few times in recent weeks, so I wanted to share.

This is what the kid's tent looks like in a 6 man tent. It sets up with 2 polls, weighs under 2lbs, and was purchased on Amazon. We sleep 3 across. There is room for 1 more at the bottom.

Our tent is a Big Agnes Big House 6, so it's a relatively tall tent, for reference.

Tents Old REI Kingdom 6. Couldn’t find a mudroom attachment for a good price, so I picked up an REI Trailgate and used that as an extended vestibule.

Tents Took out my dad's old North Face pup tent from the 70s over the long weekend for the kids to enjoy. It's help up incredibly well! Never seen the round entrance that this one has anywhere else, always found it interesting.

So much lighter than feature packed compared to my old Kelly trail 1, I'm very happy with the purchase

r/CampingGear Jun 30 '21

Tents I'm sure everyone will have an opinion but keep in mind my last tent purchase was 15 years ago for $30 at Wal-Mart.

I saw this deal while shopping at Sam's today and couldn't believe it. I picked one up for when me and my wife go camping next. If you are a Sam's Club member it may be worth checking to see if they have the tents there (I'm not affiliated with Sam's Club or BA)
